近年来,人们对定性材料分析的兴趣大增。来自越来越多学科的研究人员希望对公开的、非结构化的采访、文档和报告的文本、报纸文章、日记和日志等进行响应分析。然而,定性的、解释性的分析并不局限于书面材料的情况,它还可以处理绘画、图像、音频剪辑和视频剪辑等对象。
Kwalitan是一个支持研究者进行这类分析的软件。Kwalitan确保了数据的有效存储,并提供了各种工具来分析材料,如编码、文本片段的选择和检索、代码分类、文本中代码(或单词)的概述、“上下文中的关键字”和编写备忘录。使用Kwalitan,您可以分析文本、图像、音频和视频剪辑。

Analysis of codes
As mentioned before, codes are an important tool for the researcher in order to get grip of the qualitative material. In Kwalitan there are several tools that enable you to analyse the codes you use. One tool is the overview of codes, that gives you insight in what codes you have invented and assigned and how often they occur. Two important tools for categorizing the codes are the so called categories, in which you bring together codes that refer to the same concept, and the hierarchical tree structure, in which codes are ordered in a parent-child fashion; this tree structure accommodates for six levels.
Kwalitan is a program for the analysis of qualitative data, such as protocols of interviews, articles, and annual reports. Kwalitan enables the researcher
Coding
In order to understand what the qualitative material is all about, the researcher assigns codes to the material. With the help of these codes the researcher describes what is important to him/her in the content of the material. To each segment you can assign up to 50 codes in order to specify what the text is about or what your interpretations of the material are. Codes can be ascribed to the entire segment, but codes can also be linked to specific parts of the segment, i.e. text fragments. Most coding is done by hand, but Kwalitan also has a tool for assigning codes automatically to segments.
